If you want to love the people you work with and lead them effectively, build a community of friendship in the workplace. In this bonus episode of the Maxwell Leadership Podcast, Mark Cole is joined by special guest Marcylle Combs to discuss her brand-new book, Never Hire Your Friends!

Key takeaways:

• Too many people say that humility is a weakness and not a strength.

• Speak honesty with kindness, especially when it's going to hurt.

• Having fun with your team isn't just a nice idea — it's serious business.

Our BONUS resource for this episode is the *Never* Hire Your Friends Worksheet, which includes fill-in-the-blank notes from this teaching. You can download the worksheet by visiting MaxwellPodcast.com/HireYourFriends and clicking "Download the Bonus Resource."
